For the cheese lovers - Edit
Outstanding Homemade vegan cheeses.
Read moreI love the cashew fondue that’s a constant in the menu, but all dishes are worth trying.
Some items in the menu change regularly.
They offer good cocktails as well.
Pros: Lunch and dinner menu, Friendly staff
Cons: A bit pricey , No ventilation downstairs

Heerlijke kaas - Edit
Fantastisch plekje: goeie wijn, goeie cava, lekkere kaasjes, en zo mooi en leuk om te zitten... De eerste keer had ik een kaasplankje en dat was werkelijk hemels. De tweede keer ging ik voor de kaasfondue. Dat viel een béétje tegen: lekker, maar te veel kaas in vergelijking met de dipgroentjes.
Read moreAchteraf bleek dat ik extra groentjes had kunnen vragen, maar dat wist ik helaas niet. Dus: als jij voor de kaasfondue gaat, vraag zeker extra groentjes of brood :)

My fave restaurant in Amsterdam - Edit
I tried almost all the vegan places in the city, and this is by far my favorite. The restaurant is really cozy and nice, the menu is not too big but with enough options, and the cheeses are absolutely incredible. It is a bit pricy but 100% worth it in my opinion

Oke maar kaas viel tegen - Edit
De verschillende vegan kazen die ze op het menu hebben staan klinken mooi maar qua structuur zijn ze allemaal hetzelfde. Ik snap wat ze proberen te foen en het idee is leuk maar de praktijk valt nog tegen.
Read morePros: De vegan kaasfondue was erg lekker
Cons: De vegan kaassoorten waren veel van hetzelfde

Lovely little restaurant with a good atmosphere. Food is tasty (had vegan ricotta for starters, none vegan friends had the burger which they loved and I had the filo rolls which were good). Good area as well, not wham bam in the middle of tourist hell that is central Amsterdam lol

Cool, different food experience - Edit
We shared a funky platter and the filo rolls for mains. Both really good and well put together. In terms of flavors we weren’t completely blown away, but everything was good and elegantly served. The brownie stole the spotlight, it was phenomenal, don’t hesitate to get that. 😋

cheese platter - Edit
Went there last year with a friend specially for the cheese platter.
Read moreWhich was very tasty, specially the blue "cheese". Creamcheese was very good as well. Liked the almond cashew chesse a bit less, but that s personal of course. Very nice salad afterwards and a great latte macchiato. Nice ambience and friendly staff. Worth going there!

Perfect birthday meal - Edit
Had my birthday dinner here while on a trip to Amsterdam and was not disappointed. It felt more like a fine dining experience than most vegan and vegetarian places so I really enjoyed my burger with their perfect wine recommendation. Could not leave without having a piece of cheesecake even though the main was quite filling and was pleasantly surprised by how much it resembled of the real deal. I loved the atmosphere as I could slowly enjoy the sunset with my glass of wine and their staff was very helpful and attentive. It's a perfect place to treat yourself.

Great Place To Celebrate a Birthday! - Edit
I celebrated my birthday here and that night while we were eating there were three other birthday celebrations. I was so glad that we did because the food was great and each time it was someone's birthday dessert, the staff made a big deal of the birthday, and came out saying happy birthday with sparklers in the desserts. The flames sparkled for a long time in a dimly lighted room while everyone around watched. The food was also great. I would recommend making a reservation to eat here since it fills up quickly for dinner. The I TIRA-MISSED-U was amazing. Pricy but worth the price because the food was great.

Best Vegan Cheese in a cool space. - Edit
I have always loved cheese, so I was looking forward to trying their offerings. I was not disappointed! We tried the 4 cheese plate, artichokes with aioli, and better balls. All were really tasty. Each cheese is unique and reasonably priced for the quality and amount. Even with all of the vegan food offerings that Amsterdam has, I would come back next trip.

For absolute cheese lovers - Edit
I went to this restaurant because in Amsterdam it is widely appreciated, especially for its vegan cheeses. My expectations were high, but not fully met. I thought their cheese steak was way too salty and onedimensional. The coconut curry bitterbals, however, are great! The staff is nice, but for me it’s rather expensive for what you get. I can imagine that if you really crave vegan cheese, this may be the place for you.

Still hungry... - Edit
I went to Mr. & Mrs. Watson a few weeks ago for lunch, I was pleasantly surprised with Price vs Quality AND Quantity. last night I went with my sisters with high hopes. The taste of the food was great, but OH MY GOSH I would not call this a meal. We ate the 'Safrankly gnochhi' and it was just about big enough to be an appetizer, they should be ashamed to charger 18€ for this. It was a shame too because it was actually super tasty.
Read moreSo we told the waitress we were disappointed by the portion, she asked if we wanted anything else like a salad or some fries. Nothing was offered on the house.
If you really want to go here, go for lunch. Or go support other vegan places that actually serve you a meal!!!!!!
Cons: embarrassingly small portions

Lovely restaurant with delicious food - Edit
I have been planning to visit Mr and Mts Watson for a long time and today finally went there for lunch. We had the 4 cheeses plate. I have tried a number of vegan cheeses with varied success but these were delicious. Afterwards we had the Say Cheese-cake and Chocolate Fudge Brownie with a cappuccino and chai latte. Again all delicious. The waiter was really friendly and helpful and we had a lovely time. Will definitely go back for dinner as well.

All vegan and very tasty! - Edit
The whole menu is vegan which is fantastic😄I had the tofu scramble on toast which was lovely but slightly too salty for me. The vegan cheese on it was lovely. My friends had the tempeh bam mi sandwich which they loved. We also had a side of fries which are mixed potato and sweet potato with vegan mayo and ketchup which were very good. The food was very nice was personally lacked a little bit of seasoning for me (that wasn’t salt) but still a nice lunch in a nice setting with nice staff and all vegan!
Read morePros: All vegan , Gluten free options (including bread)
Cons: Too salty
